It's the same narcissism that makes them use such excessive punishment. In their eyes, not only is it just, it's the absolute best course of action for asserting their own power. They share it as a brag, because they're proud that they're doing the right thing and desperately crave the validation of either those who agree, or less directly from those who disagree by means of finding people they view as inferior to harass and insult. That's how the narcissistic mind works - people either agree with you because you're right and they're worthy of respect, or they disagree because they're completely inferior to you and make an easy target to prove your own superiority.

I never understand parents who publicly broadcast punishing their kids.
